Harvey Dent Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 None of them are the final headliner. Andy Copping said this list wouldn't include the last act. Tool have confirmed they were offered Euro fests this year but turned them down to concentrate on workingon new material, they also released rehearsal footage on youtube. Pendulum will sub to Linkin Park. My money's on Pearl Jam for the final headliner.   I was sure I'd written I thought it'd be Pearl Jam, which I'd fuckin love, but apparently I hadn't. I think it'll look something like  Friday  Main: Pearl Jam  Second: Avenged Sevenfold  Saturday  Main: System of a Down, Korn  Second: ???  Sunday  Main: Linkin Park, Pendulum  Second: Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted January 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 Pretty sure LP are playing elsewhere (Nova Rock?) on the Sunday so they'll be on the Friday. Andy Copping confirmed after Hard Rock Calling last year that PJ have been asked, they've also just confirmed they'll be playing shows this summer for their 20th Anniversary, I think they're waiting to confirm their other dates before releasing any info.  I can see it looking like this  FRIDAY  Linkin Park Pendulum  2nd Alice Cooper  SATURDAY  System of a Down Avenged Sevefold BFMV  2nd ????  SUNDAY Pearl Jam ???? Gaslight Anthem Alter Bridge  2nd Rob Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Apparently Reading has got three exclusive headliners this year. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Apparently Reading has got three exclusive headliners this year. Any ideas? Â according to E-Festivals, the only two names rumored so far are The Strokes and Pulp. If I recall correctly they played the Saturday (Pulp followed by The Strokes in the headline slot) at Leeds 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted January 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 Beaten to it, I nipped out for a McDonalds  Thought Pendulum were one of the headliners for the main stage, so apologies if I got that wrong. Some good names on that list that I'm looking forward to seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Dent Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Alice Cooper, Pendulum & Rob Zombie are the second stage headliners.   Got a source where thats been confirmed mate?   Edit- just seen it confirmed by Copping on twitter. Thats going to be some annoying clashes. He's also confirmed the bill will shape up like this:  Friday Main Stage Headliner TBA Sub Headliner TBA Alter Bridge  2nd Stage Pendulum KoRn  3rd Stage Danzig  Saturday Main Stage System of a Down Avenged Sevenfold  2nd Stage Alice Cooper   Sunday Main Stage Linkin Park Bullet For My Valentine  2nd Stage Rob Zombie The Cult   Thats some awful clashes for me, particularly SOAD/Alice.

thefallenangel Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'd guess at Pendulum, A7X and Zombie/Cooper being the 3rd one for the 2nd stage. Â Â Does leave the final headliner open though, no pointing towards an Ozzfest Sunday or a Classic Rock Sunday which leaves still a massive chunk of the card to be filled.

Paid Members martyngnr Posted January 25, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2011 Mr Big!?!?! fucking outstanding! Too right, if for no other reason than too see Paul Gilberts tassled guitar. It's a sad state of affairs when Mr Big are one of the few draws for me this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted January 25, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2011 The SOAD/Alice clash is a killer for me too. I saw System on the Toxicity tour & they were absolutely amazing. Towards the end of their run they were a shadow of their former selfs with really inconsistent performances. It'll be interesting to see from footage/reports from the Euro dates prior to DL what the shows are like. I hope it's not like when I saw The Verve at V, a band who obviously have no chemistry any more just getting paid. I've never seen Alice but my mates went to the Manchester Apollo date on his last tour & said he was excellent. Â Looks like Copping has dismissed Pearl Jam as a headliner on Twitter last night. Efestivals have put Soundgarden up as a strong rumour. This makes sense given that Korn requested to sub to Pendulum & Korn have also stated in interviews that their recent album was heavily influenced by Soundgarden, they obviously wanted to watch whoever's booked to close the Friday. Â Rumours abound that QOTSA are also playing, subbing to Soundgarden? Personally I think Josh Homme is one of the worst frontmen in rock, QOTSA were awful at Leeds in 08' & TCV were horrible at Download last year, if that's true I'll be at Korn. Â There's a couple of things about this announcement that have wound me up, the re-booking of BFMV is just bizarre. I totally get bands that played low spots/small stages who rip it & get invited back in a better position but bringing back a 2nd stage headliner the following year seems mental? Also, Gaslight Anthem are considerably bigger than Alter Bridge yet they get 3rd on main & Gaslight will no doubt end up playing mid-afternoon with a 40 minute set? Where's the logic in that?
